aerosigns 4 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 What is everyone using for iron sights sights? I want a back up to my dot. If I switch to one of the tooth and nail forearms I switch to something like the ARMS setup I have on my AR's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ww2imposter 2 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 What type of paint is being used for your weapon and where can it be gotten? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MKAVinny 4 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I used Rust Oleum Camouflage Deep Forest Green.I have shot over a hundred rounds through it.And have cleaned it.With no problems.If you use it make sure you prep the surface good.I put on 3 coats and baked them on at a low temp.Then gave them three days to cure before reassembling.I bought it a Wal Mart http://rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=124 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 We use MBUS on ours , I should say HAVE as I have never used them, an RDS will spoil you for anything else, I like the Eotech xps for a RDS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis 38 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Depending on the quality of your handguard and how much play there is against the barrel, you can probably get away with putting your front sight on the handguard rail. But in all cases, it's far better to mount your front sight on the barrel itself. I have two MKA's, one set up for open with an Eotech, and the 2nd has irons, using an Mbus rear sight and a Firebird front sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 An Eotech? MBUS? who's copying now? See how silly the whole thing is ? grow up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timmmyy 9 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Matt, do you think I will have a problem using the mbus front sight with heat generating from gas piston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIRCH76 12 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Matt, do you think I will have a problem using the mbus front sight with heat generating from gas piston No the handguards do not get hot what so ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toothandnail 275 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Matt, do you think I will have a problem using the mbus front sight with heat generating from gas piston. I did a test a while back, can't remember the temps exactally, about 75 rounds as fast as I could shoot , barrel was around 250 degrees forend never went over 90. Unless you are doing HEAVY sustained fire , 200+ , I don't think you will have any problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timmmyy 9 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice, will order both sights tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trappnguns 1 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 After my Leupy failed me I was thinking about this... What about a ghost ring set up? Barrel band front post with a large ghost ring on the back? I wonder what will fit.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
